Author: Rev. Thos. Shepherd, 1865-1739 Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #317 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Must Jesus bear the cross alone Lyrics: 1. Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the saints go free?
No, there's a cross for ev'ry one,
And there's a cross for me.
2. How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorr'wing here;
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.
3. The consecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
4. Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' blessed feet,
With joy I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear Name repeat.
5. O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars come down,
And bear my soul away.
